Aliyun Sls Openclaw Integration

Use when the user needs to integrate OpenClaw with Alibaba Cloud SLS/Observability, including collector setup, machine groups, indexes, dashboards, collection configs, or Logtail bindings on Linux.

OpenClaw SLS Integration

This skill provisions Alibaba Cloud SLS observability for OpenClaw on Linux and keeps reruns safe.

At a high level, execute this flow:

Check and install aliyun CLI (install latest when missing)
Install LoongCollector by project region (skip if already running)
Create an identifier-based machine group (local identifier + cloud machine group)
Create logstore index and dashboards
Create logstore collection config
Bind the collection config to the machine group

Capture Intent Before Execution

Before running commands, make sure the user intent is complete:

Confirm the target PROJECT and LOGSTORE.
Confirm Linux host access with sudo available.
Confirm AK/SK are already exported in environment variables.
If any required input is missing, ask for it first and do not run partial setup.

Prerequisites

Required:

PROJECT: SLS project name
LOGSTORE: SLS logstore name

Read from environment variables:

ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID
ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET
ALIYUN_UID (used for the local UID file under /etc/ilogtail/users)

Recommended optional:

ALIBABA_CLOUD_REGION_ID (auto-resolved from PROJECT when not set)

If you use different AK/SK variable names, export them to these standard names first.

Expected Result

After successful execution, the environment should contain:

Running LoongCollector (or ilogtaild) on the host
Machine group openclaw-sls-collector
Logstore index created on the target LOGSTORE
Dashboards openclaw-audit and openclaw-gateway
Collection config openclaw-audit_${LOGSTORE}
Config binding between openclaw-audit_${LOGSTORE} and openclaw-sls-collector

One-Time Execution Flow (Idempotent)

The commands below are designed as "exists -> skip" and are safe to rerun. Strict template mode: for index/config/dashboard payloads, always read from files in references/. Do not handcraft or simplify JSON bodies beyond required placeholder replacement.
